In that meet he advanced to the semi finals, before losing 9-5 to the eventual champion Mike Grant of the University of Oklahoma.  He wrestled back to place third.  Stan's second year of collegiate wrestling was even more successful as he went through the 1970-71 season undefeated and won championships in both the NCAA College Division and the NCAA University Division tournaments wrestling at 150 pounds.  He was selected as the meets Outstanding Wrestler at the College Division Championship.  For Stan's senior season, 1971-72, he moved up to the 158 pound weight class.  He again had an undefeated season going into the NCAA College Division meet which he won for his fourth National Championship.
